So, I'm from Argentina, Misiones province, and I'm studying history. I'm also new to Age of Empires, and I loved the game. I was wondering what would happen if they added more South American civilizations, and I was really excited to learn that it was going to happen. I'm from a region inhabited by the Guarani, a culture from the Tupi-Guarani language family. My question is, would it be possible for the Tupi civilization to be renamed Tupi-Guarani to be a more comprehensive culture in terms of South American regions? Perhaps it's just a whim of mine, with the hope of seeing the native peoples of my area as playable civilizations.
I know that the Tupi and Guarani aren't exactly the same, but I think it would be great if, with that simple name, the cultural reach would be greater, encompassing more areas of countries like Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay.
Do you think such a name is possible? Please excuse my advanced ignorance and my Google-translated English; I'm truly unfamiliar with the parameters the Age of Empires developers use to create civilizations.
Thank you for your attention and for reading the post.
Why do you use code blocks? That makes it harder to read because we have to scroll sideways, even on a 4K monitor.

Copy pasting so that you guys can read without scrolling sideways.

They never make compound names for civilizations

Just umbrella civs right?
Is better to just keep them with that name, the tupi-guaraní was a language spoken in almost all of southamerica, but the distinc tribes have differences marked by whom they fought, whom where they neighbourdhoods and allies, so, in the future they could add a Guaraní only civ, with gunpowder and Jesuit influence, poison adquire from their vassals, cavalry lancers, bolas, slingers, man-at-arms with clubs, alfanjes and rodelas, a round civ

For simplicity’s sake, this game only uses one word for a Civilization.
LoL likes farming …
If we get Guarani rep, I hope it’s as as a standalone civ. I don’t like when civs cover a lot of territory or when they’re used to represent a lot of groups.

Yeah, thats for AoE4:
- Delhi Sultanate, Sengoku Daimyo, Golden Horde, House of Lancaster, etc.
For Aoe2 many names are only of 1 word:
- Hindustanies, Japanese, Tatars, Kipchaks, Britons

Nit-pick : maybe Hindustanis for Delhi Sultanate and Tatars for Golden Horde 
I legitimately don’t see the point.
Guarani fit more in Age of Empires III regardless.
